I gave you an example in post 199. Do you really think any one of our founding fathers would have said that the teacher can have naked children in his classroom because of his religion?

Get serious. They believed in the rule of law. Religion is not an automatic excuse to do anything that you like. And, that's the way you're trying to present this.

You proposed a ridiculous strawman argument. Really thought I'd fall for that did ya? Not in a million years and if that's the best response you have we're done having a conversation.

Well, I’ll never try to fool you again. ;-)

You keep working on it The use of the First Amendment to excuse otherwise unlawful conduct is an interesting ares. You get to learn about peyote and all sorts of good stuff. Good luck.

I sympathize that you need to educate so many other wrong posters. However, that seems to apply to you in this case, not me.

Are you saying "I know you are but what am I?" ?

That's actually pretty funny.

Let's put that aside for a bit. You've voiced an opinion and you have been deluged with cross people who disagree with you. I actually don't like it when people are ganged up on, and had I realized that was going to happen, I would have backed off myself.

But I think we are all (well most of us anyway) adults here, and if a person has thin skin, reading and posting opinions on the internet is not for them.

I've been called everything but a human being, and this is simply a normal reaction from people who believe something strongly and can't comprehend that someone else sees things differently. I've got probably a dozen people here on Free Republic mad at me about one issue or another.

I don't let it bother me, and you shouldn't either.

Later dude.

I didn’t voice an opinion. I voiced a fact based on case law and the rights and responsibilities of public employers. You instead posted clips to educate us in general unrelated issues.

"Facts" have gotten pretty fungible lately. They are not so solid as they once were.

That you think them unrelated is a consequence of the narrowness of your scope. They are very related. This mess is one big tapestry.

This is what I mean about the difficulty of transferring enough information for people to see the bigger picture before they lose interest.

Also too many people think they already know everything. They resent the idea that anyone can add to their knowledge.

Fungible these

Court issues ruling. Employer carries out ruling. Employee must comply or face the consequences if insubbordination. Please state your facts to counter these.

Fungible these

Court issues ruling.

A ruling that applies in the case for which it is a ruling. It does not automatically change any laws, it simply informs future litigants that this is the manner in which future such cases will be decided.

As a result of this ruling, the queers can allege a cause of action; An "injury." They can litigate, and based on the Scum court ruling they will likely prevail. Till they prevail they can't compel the clerk to do anything because that case has yet to come to trial. They might get a directive from a Judge, but they still have to first file a case.

It is generally just accepted that when you know you are going to lose in court, you comply, but you do in fact have the ability to keep fighting the same losing cause over and over again, and in fact I would suggest all states do exactly this.

I would push Irish Democracy on their @$$E$ and simply keep forcing litigation.

Probably at some point one of the Federal courts would just issue a blanket ruling regarding all such suits and threaten and then carry out a contempt order.

The next President needs to tell the Marshalls to refuse to enforce any ruling from a Federal Judge regarding "Gay Marriage."

Obama has shown us that President's don't have to follow the law, and so should the next president not follow the law. It's long past time we told these Federal Judge dictators to go F*** themselves.

You continue to claim and demonstrate your ignorance of case law. I have made a serious mistake. I’ve said goodbye to you twice and yet I keep picking up the tar baby. No more

If that means we no longer have to see your defeatist opinion, I'm good with that.

I am not going to argue the legal aspects of this thread. But I will say that on this particular issue the SCOTUS has overruled the will of the people. We are on a slippery slope my friends.

I suppose Russia did a better job of placating the faithful ones. And yes, I’m aware Hitler adopted “religiosity” as a means to enlist the unwilling.

Don’t care much for Francis.
